Wilson Chandler's 2011-2012 season was a forgettable one. The forward spent the first part of the lockout-shortened season in China, before returning to the Denver Nuggets. Chandler's season will end after only playing in eight games for Denver this season. He'll miss the rest of the season with hip surgery, but will be ready to return for next season.
I feel for #Nuggets F @wilsonchandler. He tried to make late-season impact but hip injury puts him out for season.

After surgery, Wilson is expected to be ready to play by the start of the 2012-13 season.
